Well I missed the opening to S. America around 2100z.
However Huge opening to Gulf Coast area (0:13z - 3:00z) lasted past time I went to bed, and shut down due to T-Storms moving into the area.
NOTED GRIDS WORKED:
EM32 (x2) contacts
EM40.........................EL09
EM50.........................EL86
EM56.........................EL87
EM57.........................EL96
EM60
EM70.........................FN41
EM73........................ EN70
EM89
EM90
XE2NBW....DL95....2:29z
Signals were all most unbelievable in strength....
Station in Lou. 100w and squalo loop at 15ft...S9
Station in FLA...First contact on new radio IC-7300/100w using his 20m Vert GP...59
Station in Miss. 6m Ringo at 30ft/100w....S9
One of the Op's in OH...worked a station on INDOOR Dipole running 10w from FLA.
Yes a FUN opening...coat hanger antenna and 100w would have been enough to cause you a Pile-Up...
This was the second good opening in just the last few days...many stations in log on 5.31.18
The Stations in FLA were working Far North into VE3 and VE2 land and up the East Coast...
I left the beam pointed due South out into the Gulf...working stations from FLA to W. Tx...Mexico with S9+ reports and never moving the antenna.
Hope others got to enjoy the RADIOFUN
All the Best
Gary/W9FNB...Central IND.
PS: As writing this (11:00z).... Band Open Again to FLA and across the Gulf ...Have Fun
